Beginning Our Life

Last Time: The Puckermans began their Hanukkah celebration. Sarah and Puck picked out Nathan's godparents. Sarah had second thoughts on whether or not she was ready to be a mom. And that's what you missed on Beginning Our Life.

Baby Makes Three

Puck's Point of View

Ms. Carole poked her head in mine and Sarah's room, "Are you guys sure you can handle both Grace and Sammie?"

Sarah smiled, "Mom, we're fine, we're only alone for a couple more hours."

I nodded, "Plus, Rachel and Finn are just at Breadsticks if something goes seriously wrong and Kurt's at Blaine's."

"Ok," Ms. Carole nodded, "Thanks again for letting us go out for the night. We'll be back-"

"Go!" Sarah yelled while throwing a pillow, "Mom, it's one night, we'll be fine."

Ms. Carole smiled, "Ok, I'll see you tomorrow. Call if you need anything."

As she left, Sarah fell back against me with a sigh, "I thought she'd never leave."

I chuckled and curled my hand in her hair, "But now she is and it's just me and you."

Sarah stared up at me, "And Grace and Sammie and Finn when he comes home from his date with Rachel."

"It's not a date," I reminded her, "It's just two friends getting together."

"That's what Kurt and Blaine are doing," Sarah shook her head, "Rachel and Finn are getting back together."

I shrugged, "You never know."

"I wish we could have gone to New York for New Year's Eve," Sarah muttered, "That would have been so cool."

I smirked, "Yeah, but you're also due in two weeks. Our kid could have been born in New York."

"Still," Sarah breathed.

We fell into a silence. Outside the closed door, I could hear the tv and Grace attempting to teach Sammie how to talk. I was just getting relaxed when it felt like someone spilt their drink on my leg. I felt Sarah stiffen against me as the warm stuff soaked into my jeans.

"Sarah," I said slowly, "Did you just pee on me?"

"No," she squeaked.

We remained laying down, both staring at the ceiling, "Then what the hell was that?" I asked.

"I don't know," Sarah cried softly.

I bit my lip and started sitting up only to have Sarah scream.

"Don't! We're staying here!" she yelled.

I stopped, "Sarah, I have to get up. I'm soaked in who knows-"

Something inside me snapped. It was like a light bulb went off in my brain. I began moving again despite Sarah's protests. More liquid soaked my legs.

"Noah, what are you doing?" Sarah squirmed as I slid out from under her.

I ignored her and moved to the end of the bed. I knelt in front of her and gently lifted the edge of her skirt only to take in her completely soaked underwear.

Sarah kicked me, "What are you doing?"

"Checking to see if the baby's coming," I mumbled.

Sarah's head fell back against the pillows, "He's not coming. It is January 3rd. He's not due for another nine days."

I shook my head and carefully stood. I began lifting her in my arms, "I don't know, Sars, I think your water just broke."

She shook as I tightened my grip around her, "No, you're wrong."

I was about to reply when she screamed.

"Oh, oh, oh my God," Sarah hid her face in my chest. She started huffing and grunting into my t-shirt.

I was kinda scared now. I wasn't really positive before, but now I am. Nathan's coming home sooner than we thought.

"Noah," Sarah sobbed, "It hurts."

"I know," I soothed while trying to remember if she'd packed an overnight bag. I started pacing the room, Sarah still shaking in my arms and crying uncontrollably. "Where's the bag?" I couldn't help but yell in frustration.

"What bag?" Sarah sniffled and looked up at me.

"The overnight bag," I answered while glancing around the nursery.

She cried harder, "I didn't pack one!"

I held back a sigh and started leaving the room, "It's alright," I whispered. I grabbed Sarah's keys off the counter and ran out to her car. We were in, buckled, and halfway to the road when Sarah and I gasped simultaneously and I hit the breaks.

"Grace," came from my mouth at the same time Sarah breathed, "Sammie."

We stared at each other for a second before I threw the car in reverse and hit the gas. We flew back to the house where I sloppily parked in the driveway.

"Come on," I unbuckled her seat after mine, "I want you to come in with me in case you have another contraction."

Sarah numbly nodded while getting out of the car.

I ran back inside and threw open the door, "Grace!"

Grace's Point of View

"I love you, you love me, we're a great big family," I sang softly to Sammie, "With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you, won't you say you love me too."

She gurgled and kicked her legs against the blanket she was laying on on the ground.

I smiled, "Did you like that? I know I'm not as good as Noah or Sarah, but was that ok?"

Sammie smiled and blinked her big eyes.

There was a sudden thumping and I turned from my spot on the ground to see Noah run out of the house with a crying Sarah in his arms. I could hear a car roar to life and straight out of the driveway.

Sammie whimpered slightly and I turned back around, "It's ok, Sammie, I'm sure they'll be back."

She started screaming and I panicked.

"Please don't cry," I lifted her into my arms, "Everything's ok."

The door swung open and I screamed, tightening my grip on Sammie. This was it, I was going to die.

"Grace!"

"Noah!" I set Sammie down before jumping up and running at him, "Oh, I'm so glad it's you! I thought it was a robber."

He grunted and carefully pushed me off, "I need you to grab Sammie's diaper bag."

"Why? Where'd you and Sarah go? Is she ok?" I started to take in his wet jeans and laughed, "What happened?"

Sarah appeared in the doorway, "Noah," she cried, "Help."

Noah quickly pulled his phone from his pocket and tossed it at me before running at Sarah, "Grace, call Finn and tell him Sarah's going into labor."

My hands shook as I found Finn's number in Noah's phone.

"Noah, I'm scared," Sarah sobbed.

"Just breathe," Noah said softly and I could tell he was trying to be calm, but he definitely wasn't.

The phone rang before Finn answered, "Puck, I'm with Rachel, what do you need?"

"Finn," I said quietly, "It's Grace."

Sarah screamed and Noah started rubbing circles on her back and stomach.

"Grace, what's going on?" Finn asked.

Tears formed in my eyes, "Sarah's having her baby, Finny, and I don't think she's ok."

"I'm fine," Sarah yelled.

I winced at her angry tone.

"Let's go get Sammie's bag," Noah whispered.

"I don't want to move," Sarah snapped.

"Oh, um, ok," Finn stuttered, "We'll be right there."

"Wait!" Noah ran over and grabbed the phone, "Finn, I'm taking Grace and Sammie with us to the hospital; I have to get Sarah there asap and can't leave the girls alone, but I need you to come home and make an overnight bag for Sarah and get me a new pair of pants...I'll explain later...No, I didn't pee myself because my son's going to be-" the phone dropped to the ground.

Sarah looked up and my eyes widened, even Sammie's crying stopped in the living room. Noah carefully lowered himself to the ground and pushed himself into the fetal position. He set his head on his knees and let out a small groan.

Sarah whimpered and I could tell she was fighting with herself to either stay by the door or come and help, "Grace," she eventually whispered, "Can you please help?"

I nodded and sat down next to Noah, "Hi," I said.

He looked up, "Where's Sarah?"

I pointed at the door, "Over there."

Noah groaned and hid his face again, "I'm going to be a father."

"Hello! Hey! Puck, you there?"

I picked up the phone, "Finn, Noah's not ok."

He sighed and I could hear him cover the phone, "Rach, we need to go, like now," he uncovered the speaker, "Grace, we'll be there in about 15 minutes in case you guys don't leave yet. Everything's going to be ok."

Finn ended the call and I gently set the phone down next to Noah.

He slowly raised his head, "Grace, can you go get the extra car seat out of the garage and put it in Sarah's car please?"

I nodded, "Yeah."

"Grab Sammie's diaper bag too," Noah said softly.

"Ok," I stood.

Noah grabbed my hand, "Thanks, monster."

I smiled, "No problem."

Finn's Point of View

"Mom, I don't know the exact time Sarah went into labor," I said into the phone while running into the hospital with Rachel on my tail shouting at Kurt through her own cell.

"Finn, I need to know!" Mom yelled.

"Carole, where'd you put my pajamas?" Burt asked in the background.

"Mom, I gotta go," I stated before ending the call and stuffing my phone into my pocket as I approached the front desk, "My sister's in labor, I need to see her now. I have her bags and her boyfriend's pants. It's Sarah Hudson and Noah Puckerman. They have an 11 year old and a three month old with them."

The nurse nodded and stood, "Follow me."

"Ok, good," Rachel turned her phone off and stuffed it in her purse before hurrying up and grabbing my hand, "Kurt and Blaine are going to be here in about half an hour. They were going to grab some clothes for Noah first."

I nodded and tried not to focus on the way her hand felt in mine. It was really soft. Actually, it was one of the reasons why I asked her out today because I was hoping she would hold my hand and then maybe we could think about getting back together.

"Just down this hall," the nurse pointed, "She's in room 28."

"Thanks," I muttered.

"Everything's ok," Rachel whispered, "I'm sure Sarah's alright."

I nodded and continued down the hall. I knew we'd made it when I saw Grace sitting against a wall with Sammie in her arms. I quickened my pace, "Grace!"

Her head shot up and she smiled, "Finn!"

I skidded to a stop in front of her. Carefully, I grabbed Sammie, "What are you guys doing out here?"

Grace stood with Rachel's help, "Noah didn't like us in there." Rachel was about to open the door when Grace's hand shot out, "Wait! I don't think that's a good idea."

Rachel smiled, "Honey, I think Noah will be ok. We have to drop off Sarah's bag and some new pants for him anyways."

Grace smirked, "I heard Noah tell the nurse that Sarah's water broke when she was laying on him, that's why he's wet."

"Gross," I breathed against Sammie's hair.

My sister clutched my shirt and gurgled as if she agreed with me.

I chuckled and Rachel smiled at me before turning the knob of the door.

Just as she pushed it open, Puck yelled, "Grace! I thought I told you-"

"It's just us," Rachel said softly.

We walked in and I froze. Sarah was hooked up to some stuff and looked terrible. Her face was covered in tears and sweat. She was holding tightly onto Puck as if her life depended on it.

Sarah sobbed, "Finn!"

I quickly passed Sammie to Rachel before running over to her, "Hey, hey, how are you?" I smoothed my hand against her hair held in two rather sloppy pony tails.

She cried, "It hurts."

I gave her an awkward hug, not wanting to hurt her anymore, "It'll be ok in the end."

"The end! I don't want to finish! I just want to go home and not have this baby!" Sarah cried and fell away from me onto Puck.

He wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. He remained silent and gave me a small glare. He looked so tired even though he really wasn't doing anything. I felt a little bad for him.

I tried thinking of how long it's been since Grace first called. An hour? Hour and a half? And Puck and Sarah looked like this? God bless them.

Rachel slowly walked forward. She bent down and whispered to Puck, "I have your jeans in the bag. Would you like to go change in the bathroom?"

He bit his lip and seemed to think it over before shaking his head, "No, I'm staying here."

"But your soaked," Sarah whimpered, "Don't you want to change?"

Puck gave her a small smile, "I'm going to stay here with you."

She sniffed and wiped her eyes, "Do it for me?"

They had a mini stare down for a minute before Puck gave in and stood, "I swear I'll be back in 30 seconds."

"I'm hungry," Grace whispered once Puck was gone.

"Oh my gosh, I never fed you," Sarah's head thumped back against the pillow.

"How about Finn and I take you and Sammie down to the cafeteria?" Rachel asked.

Grace nodded, "Yes, please."

Rachel smiled and turned to Sarah, "Want me to bring you back some water?"

Sarah shook her head and pointed towards her side table, "I have some."

"Ok, let's go girls," Rachel reached her hand out for Grace.

"Wait! Stay here for a second, I need to talk to Puck," I said. They nodded and I went over to the bathroom door. I softly knocked, "Puck?"

The door swung open, "Ok, maybe that was 40 seconds, but I'm right here."

"Hold on," I put a hand on his chest and pushed him back in the bathroom, closing the door behind me, "I wanted to talk to you."

"But-" Puck gestured to the door.

"It'll only take a minute," I stated. I pointed to the toilet, "Sit."

Puck almost protested, but put his hands up and sat on the closed seat, "Fine, what do you want?"

I leaned against the door, "What's up?"

"Seriously?" Puck growled and jumped up, "My girlfriend's in labor and you're asking me-"

I shoved him back down, "That's not what I meant. What happened at home when you were talking to me on the phone?"

He sighed and put his head in his hands, "I'm going to be a father."

I chuckled, "Yeah, I know."

"No you don't!" Puck shouted and glared at me, "You don't! I don't mean father as in I got a girl pregnant, I mean father as in the man that we never had! A kid's going to depend on me with his life. Do you understand how huge that is? If I screw one thing up, this is all over. There's a boy in that room waiting to get out of his mom so he can have a real life and I'm going to be responsible for it," I could tell he was fighting not to get upset, "I know that I have Beth, but this is different. I really haven't been there as she's grown up, but that's all different now. I don't think I can do this. Finn, I've been to jail, that pretty much automatically means I'm going to mess this up." He started breathing pretty hard and I was a little scared that he was going to hyperventilate.

I grabbed one of the cups off the counter and quickly filled it with cold water before stuffing it at him, "Here, drink."

Puck downed the glass, "Sorry."

I shook my head, "I think that's what Rachel would call a confessional, you needed it."

He nodded and stared at the ground, "Do you think I can do it?" he asked quietly.

I smirked, "If I thought you couldn't, do you think you'd be here right now? I would have had you out on your ass in five seconds flat if I didn't think you'd treat my sister and nephew well."

Puck chuckled, "Yeah," he looked up, "Thanks, man."

I shrugged, "No problem."

He stood and hesitated before giving me a quick hug.

I hugged him back before gently shoving him off, "Now get out there and try to speed this process up a little."

Puck smirked, "Let's hope."

Rachel's Point of View

I rocked Sammie to sleep while watching Grace and Finn eat a sandwich.

"Rachel, can I ask you a question?" Grace asked.

I smiled, "Of course."

"Why is Sarah in so much pain?"

Finn froze. My eyes widened.

"I'm sorry?" I stuttered.

Grace took a sip of her pop, "Why is Sarah hurting? Did it hurt when Noah put the baby in her?"

I didn't know what to do and from the look on Finn's face, he didn't either. I could feel my mouth gape open and close.

Suddenly, a hand was on my shoulder, "Hi guys."

I turned to see Shelby standing there. I stood, "Hi! What are you doing here?"

"Kurt called," she said while pulling me in for a hug, "I knew I had to be here for Noah and Sarah."

"Gwace!" Beth ran at Grace.

Grace picked her up, "Hi there, Bethie! How are you? Are you ready to have a baby brother?"

Finn came over and wrapped an arm around my waist, "Hi Shelby."

Shelby nodded, "Hi Finn. How are you?"

He took a deep breath, "Nervous. I want Sarah to be alright."

Shelby reached forward and softly rubbed his arm, "I'm sure she'll be fine."

"Are Carole and Burt here yet?" I asked.

Shelby shrugged, "I didn't see them, but assumed they were with Sarah. Are they not here?"

Finn shook his head, "They left a couple hours ago for a night out, but then this all happened so they're coming back."

Shelby sighed, "Well hopefully they can eventually get their day off."

I laughed softly, "I think we could all use a day off after today."

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

Kurt's Point of View

Dad paced the waiting room in front of us, "When do you think she's going to be done? I'm getting impatient."

"Getting?" I muttered.

He shot me a glare, "This isn't the time for jokes, Kurt, I'm serious. The baby was due in nine days, why is he coming now?"

"Maybe he just needed to," Blaine suggested.

Dad fell in defeat in the chair between me and Finn, "I just want them to be healthy."

Grace looked up from where she was playing with Beth on the ground, "Why wouldn't they be healthy?"

"Why do you ask so many questions?" Finn mumbled.

Shelby leaned forward and ran a hand down Grace's hair, "Honey, sometimes things go wrong during labor, but it always fixes itself, there's no need to worry."

Grace nodded, "Is Noah going to be healthy?"

I scoffed, "Yeah, the guy always pulls through."

As if my words carried all the way down the hall and into that shaved head, Puck came shooting out the double doors, "I can't. I can't stand there and watch her in so much pain," he slid down the wall.

All of us watched him and stayed silent as he seemed to fight himself. His fists clenched and unclenched around the hospital gown draped around him. Eventually, he tore it off himself and threw it across the room before hitting his head against the wall.

Beth stood and wobbled over to him, "Hi Daddy."

Puck smiled, "Hi monkey. Thanks for coming," he held her tight against him.

Grace started crawling across the floor towards her brother until I snapped, "Stand."

She stood and glared at me before going over and sitting next to Puck, "Are you ok?"

He just about nodded when he started shaking his head, "No."

"Come on, it can't be that bad," Blaine said.

Puck shuddered, "When she's not completely sobbing in pain, she's screaming at me saying she hates me and will never allow me to touch her again."

"I couldn't agree more," Finn stated.

"I am not in the mood," Puck whispered angrily, "And plan on killing you if you open up your stupid mouth one more time but seeing as I have my daughter in my arms right now, I'm going to continue talking like this in hopes it will scare you until I calm down."

Finn's face paled and he stiffly nodded. Rachel ran a hand up his arm, "He's under a lot of stress, leave him alone," she breathed.

I grabbed a water bottle and went over to kneel in front of Puck, "Drink this then go back in there."

He shook his head, "I can't, Kurt, she hates me."

I smirked, "She doesn't hate you, she's just mad because she's in so much pain and you're not. What'd you do when Beth was born?" The little girl looked up at her name and I smiled, "Yeah, you. What'd Daddy do when you were born? He stayed by your mom, didn't he."

"That's different though," Puck said, "Beth was born in half an hour. Sarah's been in labor for five hours. That's a really long time and I'm going crazy. If I don't see my son in ten minutes, I might cry."

I laughed, "Seriously?" I checked my watch, "So your kid needs to be born by 3:11 or else we're going to see the rare sight of Noah Puckerman crying."

He nodded, "Yeah."

The doors flung open and Carole ran out, "Where's Noah?"

Puck looked up, "Right here."

Carole bent down and kissed his forehead, "It's time."

Puck's eyes widened, "What?"

"Baby, Sarah's ready to push, your son's going to be born really soon. You need to come back to the room right now," Carole breathed.

Puck started panicking, "No, that can't be true. No, no, no."

Grace hugged him, "But this is so exciting."

Beth started jumping in Puck's lap, "Yes, yes, yes."

I carefully touched his hand, "You just said if Nathan wasn't born in ten minutes, you'd go crazy and cry. Now's your time. Go back there and get your son."

Puck nodded stiffly and gently pushed Beth on my lap before jumping up, "I have to go."

Blaine clapped, "Good luck."

Dad smiled, "You can do it, son."

Puck's face was caught somewhere between excited and nervous as he allowed Carole to help him back into the blue gown and lead him back through the doors. Suddenly he turned around and looked at Finn, "I promise I'll take care of her."

Finn smiled, "Go get 'em."

I held Beth's hand and helped her wave, "Can you say 'Good luck' Beth?"

"G' luck Beth!" Beth screamed with a wide smile.

Puck chuckled, "Thanks."

I winked, "See ya on the other side."

Carole pulled Puck's hand, "Come on, we don't have much time."

Puck gulped and nodded before taking off in a jog.

Grace hugged me, "I'm going to be an aunt!"

I held her close, "Yeah, you are."

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

Blaine's Point of View

Shelby shook her head, "I'm so sorry, I'm sure you guys will find a way to come back from this."

I shrugged, "It was just really disappointing, losing for once."

Finn patted my shoulder, "Don't worry, we're going to fix this."

Shelby nodded, "And by the way, Finn, I'm very impressed by you taking over New Directions, I think that's very bold."

Rachel smiled, "We're all very proud of him."

"It's a boy!" Our heads shot up to see Puck grinning from ear to ear standing in the doorway, "I have a son! A real son! He's 8 pounds 13 ounces and 14 inches long born at 3:15. He's amazing. He has these real big blue eyes and dark brown wavy hair. Sarah's getting all fixed up and Nathan's getting cleaned up cause he was covered in this really gross crap that I gagged at, but everything's great. It's real great."

"So that's his name?" Shelby asked, "You guys did end up with Nathan?"

Puck nodded quickly, "Nathan Christopher Puckerman. Oh, while I'm thinking about it, could you call Jake and just telling him that he's an uncle? And maybe the glee club? I know Sarah wants them here. Mr. Schue! You have to-"

I laughed, "Calm down, we'll take care of it. Don't worry."

Puck smiled, "Thanks. I should head back there."

"Can we come?" Finn asked, "I kinda want to meet my godson/nephew."

"Yeah," Puck nodded, unable to keep the smile off his face, "Of course."

We all filed behind him and followed him down the hall to Sarah's room. He pushed open the door, "Try not to be too loud, Nathan has really small ears and I don't want them to get damaged."

Kurt chuckled, "I don't think-oh my gosh!" he ran over to where Sarah was sitting up holding a baby.

She smiled, "Hi." She looked exhausted, but there was a certain glow around her. She finally seemed perfect. "This is Nathan," she whispered, "Can you say hi, Nathan? This is your family."

Carole came and wrapped an arm around Burt's waist, "She did so well. I'm very proud of her," she looked at Finn, "I'm sure your dad is as well."

Puck went over and kissed Sarah's forehead, "Love you," he whispered.

She smiled, "Love you too."

Grace grabbed my hand and tugged me over to the side of the bed, "Can I see?"

Sarah nodded, "Yeah, look," she angled her arms so we could see her son.

I smiled at his tiny face. Puck was right, his eyes were really bright and he had a lot of hair for just being born. I could see both Sarah and Puck staring up at me through this little boy.

"Wow," Grace whispered.

I nodded, "You guys, he's amazing."

"He's going to be awesome," Puck agreed, "I'll make sure of it."

I felt a tugging on my leg and looked down to see Beth staring up at me. I chuckled and lifted her up, "You wanna see your brother?"

Beth peered down at Nathan and smiled, "Mine."

Puck reached across the bed and grabbed her hand, "You're right, he's your brother."

Sarah let out a soft sob, but tried covering it with a cough.

"What's wrong?" Rachel asked as she came to stand next to me.

Sarah shrugged, "I'm just so happy right now," she smiled and looked down at Nathan, "Welcome to the family."

Sneak Peak: I tried not to laugh as Puck stared at Nathan. I could practically see the wheels turning in his head. "How do I pick him up without hurting him?" Puck groaned in frustration. "I could help." I smiled at the voice and looked at the door, "_!"

Visitor time!
